Host SM_Pam says: 
As we return to this week's adventure, the crew of the Triton is facing a new puzzle, which may prove to tax their brains to the limit. They were just underway to the Mira System, when the alert klaxons began to blare. Boy those things are loud!

Host SM_Pam says:
The crew tried everything to turn the blasted thing off but were unsuccessful. As their ears ached with the pain, the sound suddenly changed to a different frequency, but a familiar one to anyone who had studied old style Earth radio frequencies. Think anyone on the ship was smart enough to figure it out?

Host SM_Pam says:
Well as luck would have it, the Triton has several officers that did manage to stay awake long enough in class to determine that the new signal was Morse Code, a very old but useful method of signaling.

Host SM_Pam says:
The FCO was able to decode the message enough to make out the phase, "I be back Triton. I will see you all soon." Interesting development don't you think?

Host SM_Pam says:
The ship is continuing towards the Mira System and the crew is working hard on finding answers to the mystery. Who or what has caused the alert klaxons to go berserk? Was this a simple malfunction in the system or was it a case of deliberate tampering?

Host SM_Pam says:
Now as the Triton nears their destination, just a few hours away, the mystery still haunts the crew. Can they solve it before something else happens? We shall be looking forward to the answer, won't we?

Host SM_Pam says:
ACTD is proud to present The USS Triton in...... "Downtime".......  Stardate 10304.03.....part 4

::Is in Sickbay putting the last touches on the unobtrusive bioscanner::

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
::in Main Engineering working on maintenance::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::in his RR wondering just what and who is back::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*XO*: Status Cmdr?

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
*CO* We're still a few hours away sir. No new developments.

CIV_Lt_Pierce says:
::At Tactical on the bridge, watching lines of information scroll by::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*XO*: Understood Cmdr.  When we get to about an hour out go back to Red Alert.  I'm not taking any chances.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
*CO* Understood sir.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
LtJG_Jones: Almost done with your part, Lieutenant?

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*CMO*: Lt. Yates, how's that scanner coming?

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
<LtJG_Jones>CMO: Yes will have it done in a few minutes, ma'am.

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::running over a few things in his head, next to the engineering console::

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
::walks onto the bridge from the turbo lift and approaches Everitt:: XO: Mr. Everitt how is the investigation of the malfunction proceeding?

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::Self; Could it be Cloaky?  Or Quebert?  Or someone entirely unknown to us?

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::hears her Combadge chirp and taps it:: *CO*: I will have it completed in about five minutes, sir.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*CMO*: Good Lt. Bring it to the bridge and install it immediately, then run a scan on the bridge crew to make sure it works properly.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
::stands a little straighter:: Sheridan: Unfortunately nothing reported yet, ma'am.

CEO_Lt_Sheamara says:
*Ens.Telarus*: I want you to do a level 4 diagnostics on the weapons grid, relays, and the LRS and the SRS.  I want this ship at 105% when we get there.  I will do the engine diagnostics from here.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
::realizes that doesn't sound very good:: Sheridan: ..but I can assure you we have our best people working on it.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
*CO*: Understood, sir. ::taps Combadge closing the COM and continues to work::

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
XO: I'm sure you do Commander, but this is taking too long to solve.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
*CEO*: Aye ma’am.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
::starts up Level 4 Diagnostics program on SRS systems first::

CEO_Lt_Sheamara says:
::begins her level 4 diagnostic on the engines::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
<LtJG_Jones>::walks over to the CMO and helps complete the last few parts::

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
::frowns:: Sheridan: Perhaps it won't be solvable in our current situation, in our current time frame.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::gets antsy and walks out onto the bridge, knowing he will go nuts just sitting in the RR::

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
Sheridan: But until then, we're going to proceed like it is.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
XO: Have you looked into the possibility that it was sabotage? ::clasps her hands behind her back::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::finally finishes the unobtrusive bioscanner and stands there relieved. She then grabs it and walks to the Sickbay doors:: LtJG_Jones: You have Sickbay, Lieutenant. ::leaves heading for the Turbo Lift::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::walks to the Admiral and XO:: XO/Sheridan: Cmdr, Admiral  ::nods::

CEO_Lt_Sheamara says:
Self:  Augusfrat.................................SB engineers, These engines need my tender love to get them to 105% even with the upgrades.

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
*Special Ops*: I want a full ship wide sweep, anything that moves and breaths has to be registered as crew or a scheduled guest.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
Sheridan: Very much so ma'am.  In fact I think it’s our most likely avenue.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
::turns to the Captain:: CO: Sir.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
::smiles:: CO: Captain, Everitt and I were just discussing the alert klaxon problem.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::she enters the Turbo Lift:: Computer: Bridge. ::waits there as it moves:: Self: I wonder why the Captain wants this? ::holding the bioscanner in her hand::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO/Sheridan:  I see.  I've gone over the results in my RR until I’m blue in the face and I can't figure it out.   I know, that doesn't look very good. ::sighs::

CIV_Lt_Pierce says:
::Breathes out and turns to the CTO:: CTO: Anything new sir?

CEO_Lt_Sheamara says:
::still muttering in Klingon she begins to manually realign the plasma flow regulators, and the warp matter/antimatter regulators::

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
::starts on Level 4 Diagnostic on LRS systems::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::the Turbo Lift stops and she steps onto the Bridge. She then walks over to the Captain and does not say a word noticing that he is speaking to an Admiral. She then steps back for a moment and waits::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::turns to the CEO:: CEO: Lt. what's the status of those diagnostics?

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::walks towards Pierce:: CIV: I have the ship running a ship wide command check. Which means, we'll be waiting a while. It'll analyze ever command sent to and process by the computer prior tothe alert.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
ACTION: Long-range scanners pick up something at the edge of their range.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::sees a light blinking on the command chair:: XO/Sheridan: We have a contact

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: Mr. Wolfe full scans on that contact now.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::Makes a decision:: CTO: Go to Red Alert  Cmdr.

CEO_Lt_Sheamara says:
CO: Sir I have engineering on the sensors and the sensor grids.  I am presently tweaking the engines manually for 105%.  I have a feeling we are going to need them.  I have also brought on line three of the fusion reactors to standby just in case.

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::nods to the captain and moves to his console, runs a full scan::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::looks over at the CO:: CO: Sir, I have the unobtrusive bioscanner completed. Would you like me to test it?

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
::crosses his arms and turns to the viewscreen::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CEO: Excellent, keep at it Lt.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CMO: Yes Lt.

CIV_Lt_Pierce says:
::Mans Tactical II as the CTO takes his station::

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: Should I intercept sir?

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
::moves to the front and watches the activity on the bridge::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
CO: Understood, sir. ::walks around using the scanner making sure it works::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
FCO: Not just yet Cmdr. Let's see what its doing first.

CEO_Lt_Sheamara says:
*EO*:  Watch the fusion reactor grids.  We are going to need them.  Leave them on standby.   You got the report on the sensors??  Are they at 105%??

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::goes to red alert:: CO: Captain, from the looks of it... there's no real... contact. Seems like some sort of distortion.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: Distortion?  Like a ship moving in and out of a cloaking field?

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
CO: I was thinking the very same thing sir. Not certain though.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::walks over near the Command Ring of chairs:: CO: It works properly, sir. Shall I install it under your Command Chair?

CEO_Lt_Sheamara says:
*Engineering*: All I want everyone to go to assigned emergency stations!  I also want you armed.  I don't like this situation.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: I have a sick feeling we're about to meet a "friend" of ours.  Watch for signs of active tachyons.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CMO: Yes Lt. Do it now, and hurry.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
CO: Understood, sir. ::bends down and begins to attach the unobtrusive bioscanner to the Command Chair::

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
*CEO*: I rerouted the power distribution network to the LRS and SRS the systems themselves are working at 120% right now, I modified the deflector array to increase range and sharpness and accuracy of our scans.

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::turns to the captain:: CO: Actually captain... it's... sort of like a wave in space. 

CEO_Lt_Sheamara says:
CO: Sir, I have just ordered that all of my people in engineering wear their side arms.  I don't like this situation at all.  I sense deception here.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
::adds in:: CO/CTO: It could still be masking itself, perhaps partially, in other ways besides a traditional cloak.  Or, it could be a decoy.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
CO: Captain, what friend are you speaking of? :;looks concerned::

CIV_Lt_Pierce says:
::Hears the CEO and briefly thinks, "Wow, jumpy."::

CEO_Lt_Sheamara says:
*EO*: Great wonderful.  That’s my right hand man.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::hears the word "wave":: CTO: Compare it to the quantum fluctuations reported earlier

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
Engineers: Let's hustle people bring those 1 of the 3 fusion reactors online from stand by and route to shields, hold off on diagnostics on the weapons systems for now.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
Sheridan; Did you get a chance to scan the "Cloaky" files?

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::thinks he doesn't know much about waves, but the waves he's experienced didn't involved surfing or a good time::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::she finishes attaching the unobtrusive bioscanner to the Command Chair and then gets up:: CO: Sir, the unobtrusive bioscanner has been connected. ::smiles and starts to listen to everyone::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO: I agree Cmdr.  Let's not jump to any conclusions just yet.

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: perhaps we should keep our distance and launch a probe.

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::runs a comparison scan::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
FCO: Make one ready and launch immediately Cmdr.  Let's look at this from all angles

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
*CEO*: Ma’am I am going to prepare Engineering for lock down at a moments notice in case the scenario your thinking about happens, I don't want engineering falling into the wrong hands.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO/Sheridan: If it is our old friend we'll be experiencing a computer core malfunction soon.

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::turns to the captain:: CO: It has all the characteristics of a quantum fluctuation. Which makes me curious if...::shakes his head:: ... never mind.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
*LtJG_Jones*: I want all emergency medical teams ready. If I call I want them to be here in a few seconds flat. Send a team to every deck.

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: aye sir, :nods to CTO::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: Never be afraid to suggest or question something on my bridge, Cmdr.  What is it?

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
CO: We're going to have to change velocity so the probe can stay ahead of us, before we reach the signal.

CEO_Lt_Sheamara says:
*EO*: No wonder I picked you for the job.  Keep up the good work.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO: Let's do it then.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
*CEO*: Thank you.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
<LtJG_Jones>*CMO*: Aye, ma'am. Sending teams to every deck and calling all emergency medical personnel to their stations.

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
CO: Minor suspicions I have of previous encounters with quantum waves or disruptions. Even one of my personal experiences... usually involved possible alternate universes.

CEO_Lt_Sheamara says:
CO: Sir engines are at 100% percent and sensors are currently at 120% readiness.  Engineering has the entire section wired for lock down at a seconds notice.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
FCO: Take us to a distance far enough away from the signal to avoid any kind of attack or close range scan.  Take us out of warp, then launch to probe.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
Engineers: I want you to rig some proximity mines loaded with flash bangs, this way we can knock out anyone who tries to come in after lockdown without authorization, link their control to the bridge.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
*LtJG_Jones*: Great work, Lieutenant. ::taps Combadge closing the COM and then looks over at the CO:: CO: Sir, I have medical teams being dispatched to every deck in case of an emergency.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
::activates lockdown standby::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: I've had my share of brushes with similar situations too Cmdr.  Let's just keep on it for now.

CEO_Lt_Sheamara says:
~~~~CIV: And no I am not jumpy.  I sense deception around us.~~~

CSO_Cdr_Paith says:
::kicks a TL panel near the floor... tired of waiting in the darned thing since it appeared to stall on its way up::

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
XO\CO: aye sir dropping out of warp and going to half impulse.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
Sheridan:  I wish we knew what these fluctuations were caused by.  I don't relish being stuck in "flowspace" again.

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::nods to the captain:: CO: Sir, before we press on... in the event of an encounter. I am to understand that altercations with an alternate universe are considered... confidential correct?

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
::goes over and helps engineers plant the traps for any intruders incase intruder systems fail::

CSO_Cdr_Paith says:
::Feels the TL move again with a jump, and then continue upwards to the bridge::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: That's correct Cmdr.  Very "confidential"

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::turns from the captain as the console beeps, looks at the console:: CO: We've got something on short range sensors.

CIV_Lt_Pierce says:
::Jumps slightly and glances at the CEO:: ~~~CEO: Well, it's not necessarily bad.  I've just never seen such vigilance in an Engineer.  Besides, I'd hate to get on your bad side.~~~

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
ACTION: The quantum fluctuation begins to move towards the Triton as it comes into short sensor range.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: Put it on the holographic projector.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::takes a seat in the Counselor's Chair:: CTO: Alternate universe, Commander? ::looks a little confused::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CIV: Lt Pierce, do you have any comments?

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
*CEO*: I have set up some extra traps in Engineering they are linked to the lockdown if anyone tries to get in without authorization they will meet some surprises.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: Increase power to the shields Cmdr.

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::runs a few more scans while putting what image he can collect on the holo-projector::

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
FCO: Is it just me, or is it getting closer?

CEO_Lt_Sheamara says:
~~~CIV: It is just that in my tenure in SF I have had many un welcome surprises on my ships.~~~

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO: What do you think Cmdr?  What are we dealing with?

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
::squints at the viewscreen::

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
::walks back to the Captain and leans on the back of his chair:: CO: Curious development.

CEO_Lt_Sheamara says:
*EO*: Very good! Keep up the work.

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::increases power to the shields:: CMO: You've... never heard of alternate universes?

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
CO: I wish I knew sir.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
Sheridan:  Just typical for the Triton Ma'am ::Grins::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
CTO: I have, Commander. But why would we be at risk in going to one?

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
XO: I think you're right, it is getting closer.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
FCO: Back us away, keep our distance.

CIV_Lt_Pierce says:
CO: No sir, I think we are proceeding with the best possible action by sending a probe and keeping the Triton away from the anomaly.

CSO_Cdr_Paith says:
::Watches the lift doors open in front of her... looks out for half a second to make sure it's the right deck, then jumps out and stares back at the lift, thinking, 'Gee, hope I don't get you for the ride home.'::

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
FCO: Status of the probe?

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
::backs the Triton away.::

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
::sees increased request for shield power from Wolfe's station and brings another reactor from standby::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: Any more definition on what that is?

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
ACTION: As the Triton attempts to back away, the fluctuation seems to increase speed.

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
CMO: We might not exactly go into one. Something from another universe could come into this one. ::thinks:: Though, quantum fluctuations could very well be the result of something coming into our universe, if such a fluctuation has enough power... oomph... it could very well lead to a quantum shift.

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
XO: The fluctuation is increasing speed.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::sees the increase:: Sheridan: Ma'am I'm not sure you should be up here.  But I know I can't get you to leave so I won't try.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::looks at the CTO with a puzzled face:: CTO: Interesting, Commander. I think I may have to read more into that sometime.

CSO_Cdr_Paith says:
::Walks toward the CO:: CO: I know I'm a little late for meeting in your office... the 'lift wanted me as a snack and kept me in it for a while... ::manages a half-smile::

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
CO: Sir. It's managed to... increase speed as we have. Could be our warp field that is attracting it.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
FCO: You mean its frequency or velocity?

CIV_Lt_Pierce says:
::Nods her understanding to the CEO::

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
::smiles at Thorne:: CO: How well you remember.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: It could be.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO: Wonder what would happen if we came to all stop?

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO\XO: probe is launched, and velocity?

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::looks over at the CSO and smiles:: ~~~CSO: Glad you could make it, Commander.~~~

CEO_Lt_Sheamara says:
*EO*: Bring fusion reactors 4 thru 7 to standby.

CSO_Cdr_Paith says:
~~~CMO: The lift wanted me as its snack...~~~

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
~~~CSO: At least you got out of it.~~~

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::looks at sensors::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
FCO: Bring us to a stop.  Let's see if it stops accelerating but be ready to move us at emergency speed if necessary Cmdr.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
ACTION: Data begins to come in from the probe.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
::looks at his Captain with a curious surprise:: CO: It wasn't my first idea.. Perhaps we could accelerate our retreat to see if the phenomenon matches it.

CEO_Lt_Sheamara says:
CO: I am bringing 4 more fusion reactors to standby.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
<LtJG_Jones>*CMO*: All teams are at their designated location, ma'am.

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: aye sir. all stop.

CSO_Cdr_Paith says:
::Shrugs, gives up on the CO and walks over to the Science stations::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::crosses his fingers:: XO: We could try that, true.  I'm just wondering if it is our warp field that's attracting it.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::taps Combadge:: *LtJG_Jones*: Thank you, Lieutenant.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CSO: I'm sorry Cmdr, I'll be right with you.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
FCO: Be ready to execute Cmdr Everitt's suggestion if it keeps approaching.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO: I'll be over at Science.  You've got the conn.

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
CO: Captain, the fluctuation is 50 kilometers in length. No light seems to penetrate it.

CSO_Cdr_Paith says:
::Looks at the panel to see what happened since she last looked at any sensor readings::

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
::again, surprised by the Captains actions:: CO: Aye, sir.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::moves over to Cmdr Paith:: CSO: Cmdr, I was wondering ::trails off::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::hears the report and thinks it is strange::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: 50 meters.  That's all?

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
CO: It's definitely some kind of wave. My question is... what's its source? ::thinks:: Kilometers.

CSO_Cdr_Paith says:
::Looks up at the Captain... and waits for him to continue::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CSO: Pull up all the information we were allowed to keep on Cloaky and Quebert.  Look for any similarities between that threat and their activities.

CEO_Lt_Sheamara says:
::turning to Sci 1::  CSO: Ma'am I might be able to make your sensors a little more sensitive to look for cloaked ships.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
::waits for the analysis from the probe::

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CSO: is the new sensor pod working correctly?

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::opens her mind and tries to see if she can sense anything from the "wave"::

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
ACTION: The fluctuation appears to stop as the Triton does but is now growing in size filling the Triton's view screen.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::looks at the viewscreen:: ALL: Is it just me or is it getting larger?

CEO_Lt_Sheamara says:
*EO*:ALL Heads up !!!!!!!!!

CEO_Lt_Sheamara says:
CO: That distortion is growing in size sir.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::watches it grow:: Self; Darn!

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::braces for impact::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO: Get us around that Cmdr.

CEO_Lt_Sheamara says:
CO:  I recommend backing off.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
CO: Around?  Ah, yes sir.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CEO: That's what we're going to do Lt.  Or at least try to.

CSO_Cdr_Paith says:
::Nods to the CO:: CO: Got it... CEO: Any little bit helps.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
CO: What if it is to large to get around, sir?

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO: Around, away whatever Cmdr.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
Computer: Engage lockdown mode alpha, Telarus 16 Delta CEO: I need your authorization code ma’am to lockdown

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: the fluctuation has stopped when we did. it seems to mimic our speed.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CMO: Then we try something else Lt.

CEO_Lt_Sheamara says:
::watches her control boards for the slightest deviation from normal readouts::

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
FCO: Full impulse, away from the phenomena.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
FCO: Correlate the size of the distortion with our size Cmdr.

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::thinks:: XO: Commander, mind if I have a moment of probable conjecture with you?

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::sighs:: CO: Aye, sir. ::uses the console at the CNS' chair and takes a look at the scans::

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
CTO: Go ahead Commander.

CEO_Lt_Sheamara says:
*EO*: Alpha 8 Green.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::grins:: CMO: Relax Lt,, we do this all the time.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
CO: Understood, sir. I am just more of the forceful one rather then the one that gets taken in or hit by something. ::smiles::

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
:: takes us to full impulse away from the fluctuation:: CO: full impulse.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
::walks around the bridge now with a padd in her hand making notes::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CMO: Lt, you don't know me very well yet.  Just watch.

CEO_Lt_Sheamara says:
*EO*: Bring two more fusion on line now.  I don't like the look of this distortion.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
CO: Aye, sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
CO/CSO: What happened to the probe when it made contact with the phenomena?

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
FCO: Very well Cmdr.  Keep an eye on that distortion.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
<Computer> EO: Affirmative, lockdown engaged, evacuate engineering.

CIV_Lt_Pierce says:
::Continues watching the readings on the fluctuation::

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
XO: Considering all or most waves have a source as to what caused the wave and the wave is following us. Is it possible for us to make a wide turn... and set a course for where it might have come from? Through sensor readings, we might be able to determine its course... and then reverse to where it came from.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
Engineers: Evac now.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::realizes with everything happening he's forgot about the probe:: FCO: What data are we getting Cmdr?

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
ACTION: The probe is no longer transmitting, seems to have vanished.

CSO_Cdr_Paith says:
XO: Our probe disappeared.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
CSO: Well, I guess that answers our question about what would happen if we got too close to that thing.

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: the probe is gone.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
::leaves Main Engineering and the doors close behind them::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO: Why am I not surprised?

CSO_Cdr_Paith says:
::tries to see what information is not locked about Cloaky & Quebert.. and which information she has the appropriate security clearance to access.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
CTO: Its a quantum signature, not an electromagnetic wave.  In any case, its quite probable the source is in the center of the phenomena, not behind it.  But I'm sure Commander Paith and the Captain are already working on that.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
Self: Strange.. a wave that absorbs items.

CSO_Cdr_Paith says:
CMO: Or simply cloaks it from us...

CEO_Lt_Sheamara says:
*EO*:  What the bloody..........Why are you evacuating engineering??  I gave no such order.  Check the computer relays please.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
FCO: Keep us as far as possible from that fluctuation, but increase speed again, slowly.

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::nods:: XO: Good point.

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: aye sir.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO:  I have a question for you Cmdr.  When we first found the anomaly, could it correlate to a small Tal'Shiar scout vessel's size.   I can't remember right offhand

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
CTO: Have you or Lieutenant Sheamara made any progress on determining a possible infiltration, or cause of the malfunction?

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
*CEO* Ma’am you just gave me your access code for the lock down unless it wasn't you the computer did accept the code.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CSO: Any luck on them Cmdr?

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
ACTION: The impulse engines engage but are sluggish.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::can feel the engines straining:: CEO: What's going on Lt?

CEO_Lt_Sheamara says:
*EO*: You just asked me for my clearance codes for engineering lock down......::voice trails off::

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
::brings a panel online right outside of engineering and begins displaying read out information and reroutes control of the remaining fusion generators to the panel and brings them online

CSO_Cdr_Paith says:
CO: I can access some info... but it's of no use...

CEO_Lt_Sheamara says:
CO: Sir I think that we have a weee bit of a tiny problem with the computer again.

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::looks to both of them:: CO: When we first found the anomaly, we weren't able to determine its size or shape. ; XO: I have been distracted sir. I suppose you would have to ask Sheamara. I had a ship wide command diagnostic running... however the computer is too swamped to continue.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CSO: I didn't think it would be.  Okay, let's leave that for now.  Concentrate all your scans on that anomaly.

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
*CEO* the impulse engines are acting sluggish. See what you can do.

CEO_Lt_Sheamara says:
*Engineering*:  What the devil are you doing to my engines??????

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
::gets into Turbo Lift and heads towards the bridge::

CEO_Lt_Sheamara says:
FCO:  Already on it sir.

CSO_Cdr_Paith says:
::Nods and focuses her attention on the sensors, their readings, and this anomaly.::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::watches the view screen with wide eyes::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CEO: I had a sick feeling we would.  Lt. I need you to try and shield the core against any outside signals.  Don't worry about whether it's showing up on our scans

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
ACTION: The fluctuation is now more that 75 km in length and is almost upon the Triton.  Time to contact is less than 5 minutes.

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::looks at the computer and nearly wets his pants:: CO: Sir. The fluctuation is 75 kilometers in length now. Five minutes until contact!

CEO_Lt_Sheamara says:
::suddenly realizes what she felt earlier::  CO: Sir  I am trying to find out who COMed me.  Was it my EO or was it someone or something else that I gave the access codes for the lockdown.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
CO: Captain, get us out of here now!

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::eyes widen when she hears the report:: CTO: Any idea what it will do if it hits us, Commander?

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: Understood.  Prepare the ship for collision.  All damage parties to their posts..

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: contact in less than 5 minutes! and once again it is growing size

CIV_Lt_Pierce says:
CEO: So if you didn't give the order for engineering to be locked down... who did?

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
Sheridan; I'm trying to Ma'am.  The helm isn't responding.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
CO: Warp systems online?

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::nods to the captain and types the order in for the damage parties:: CMO: We would go wherever our probe went. Either that be an alternate universe... or oblivion.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
FCO: Mr. Ray, what's the response like.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
FCO: Do we have warp capability?

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
CTO: That is very comforting. ::looks over at the CO:: CO: I have emergency medical teams on standby, sir. One team on every deck.

CEO_Lt_Sheamara says:
::punches up the commands from console for the lockouts to be lifted::  CO/XO:  Sir I can't get into engineering.  The controls are locked out.  I have no control.  I have to Augusfrat.....................................................I need to get to engineering.

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::looks at the captain:: CO: Sir. In the event the singularity gets a little too close, might I suggest an attempt at photon or quantum torpedoes?

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: yes we have warp.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
*Medical Teams*: Be prepared for casualties in a few minutes.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
ACTION: The fluctuation is creating waves that begin to toss the Triton around violently as it approaches.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
FCO: Get us out of here, emergency warp.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: Arm the tubes Cmdr.

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::nods to the captain and arms the torpedoes::

CEO_Lt_Sheamara says:
CO/XO: Sir I need to ::grabs consol as the ship is tossed::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CEO: Yes Lt?  ::grabs the armrest of his command chair but won't sit down::

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
CEO: Are you saying you've lost all control of main engineering?

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::falls out of her chair when the ship begins to toss::

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: already ahead of you. :: takes the Triton to high warp::

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
ACTION: Although the warp engines appear to be working, the ship does not go to warp.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
FCO: Good Cmdr Ray  ::can feel the ship not respond::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::she gets up and moves herself back into the chair::

CEO_Lt_Sheamara says:
CO: Yes I am sir.  I need to get there to get into engineering.  Some one or something has taken control of my engines.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::Self; Figures:: FCO: If we can't outrun it, we're gonna have to go through it

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
CSO: With the current knowledge that within a certain amount of time, the wave increased with a certain length, could you use your algebraic talents to approximate its original size?

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CEO: Get down there and do what you have to.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
CO/CEO: Hold on..

CEO_Lt_Sheamara says:
::grabs the rail::

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
ACTION: The XO is thrown from his chair to the feet of the FCO.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
CTO: Commander, take an armed team, with Lieutenant Seamara, and transport directly into main engineering.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
::pulls himself up and gives the command before even getting to his feet::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CIV: Lt. any suggestions?  I'm wide open for them.

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: I don't know what the heck is going on. I took the ship to warp, but nothing happened.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
CTO: Site to site transport, don't waste any time.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::Moves to stand beside Sheridan, making sure she doesn't fall::

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::nods to the first officer, taps Combadge:: *Special Ops Alpha*: Site to site transport to main engineering now! Intruder alert!

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
FCO: Do what you can Cmdr. Can we use the wave itself to push us ahead of it?

CIV_Lt_Pierce says:
CO: Well sir... If there is some sort of entity out there, what if these "unfortunate" incidents are warnings or some other form of communication?

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
Computer: Site to site transport to main engineering... energize.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
CO: Captain, thanks for the support but go and take care of your ship.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CIV: That's a very good point Lt.

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: negative.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
FCO: Send out a universal hail towards that thing.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CIV: Let's see if anyone or anything wants to talk.

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: aye sir, channels open.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
Sheridan:   Aye Ma'am.

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
ACTION: Bulkheads begin to buckle on the engineering and medical decks.

CEO_Lt_Sheamara says:
::leaves the bridge:: TL: Engineering.

CIV_Lt_Pierce says:
::Looks up, using her console for support, and listens as the channel opens::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::looks around for his XO and sees him getting up off the floor:: XO: Cmdr are you okay?

CTO_LtCmdr_Wolfe says:
::materializes in engineering, has phaser ready, looks around::

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CO: bulkheads buckling on decks 15 and 25

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::takes out her tricorder and walks over to the XO and scans him::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CSO: Cmdr Paith can you isolate the computer core from any outside interference.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
FCO: Understood Cmdr.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
::waves off Yates:: CMO: I'm fine Ashley..

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
FCO: Give the evacuation order for those areas, get the people out of there.

CEO_Lt_Sheamara says:
::taps Combadge::  *Engineering*: All crews to damage control stations.  I don't want to lose engineering and medical.  I am on my way to see if I can get into engineering.

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
::realizes he accidentally called her by first name, and hopes no one makes any note of it::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::Self: Damn, how do I get us out of here?::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::Reads the tricorder:: XO: That is for me to say, Commander. ::waits for a moment:: XO: No internal injuries. Just a few cuts and bruises. So yes you are fine. ::walks back to the chair and sits::

Host XO_Cmdr_Everitt says:
::grimaces and thinks, "quite the bedside manner"::

Host VADM_Sheridan says:
ACTION: The quantum fluctuation has now reached the Triton and takes the Triton on a wild ride pulling it inside finally.

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
*ALL*:Decks 15 and 25 evacuate immediately. This is not a drill. :repeats::
